The ''Daily Graphic'' is a Ghanaian state-owned daily newspaper published in Accra, Ghana. The paper was established along with the ''Sunday Mirror'' in 1950, by Cecil King of the London Daily Mirror Group.〔Eribo, F. & Jong-Ebot, W. (1997). ''Press Freedom and Communication in Africa.'' Africa World Press. ISBN 978-0-86543-551-3.〕 With a circulation of 100,000 copies it is the most widely read daily newspaper in the country.〔Kuehnhenrich, D. (2012). ''Entwicklung oder Profit? Die staatliche und private Presse in Ghana''. ibidem. ISBN 978-3-8382-0304-1 ((online ))〕〔Pettersson, A. (2006). ''Literary History: Towards a Global Perspective''. Walter de Gruyter. ISBN 978-3-11-018932-2.〕 The paper has seen a large number of editors replaced over the course of its history, particularly post-independence, after a string of successive military coups that resulted in the sacking editors who opposed the government policies.〔Anokwa, K. (1997). In ''Press Freedom and Communication in Africa.'' Erbio, F. & Jong-Ebot, W. (eds.), Africa World Press. ISBN 978-0-86543-551-3.〕 In 1979 the newspaper was renamed the ''People's Daily Graphic'' under Jerry Rawlings for a few years to "remind the people that it belongs to them".〔 Being a state-owned paper, it regularly covers the government in a favourable light, detailing and encouraging national unity and government policy.〔Hasty, J. (2005). ''The Press and Political Culture in Ghana.'' Indiana University Press. ISBN 978-0-253-34524-0.〕 In colonial Ghana under British rule, the paper, which was staffed by local Ghanaians, received large government funding from British banks, which led to its high circulation and raising awareness of events to ordinary Ghanaians, more so than Ghanaian-owned papers.〔 The paper, owned by the Graphic Communication Group Limited, also prints two weekly entertainment newspapers, namely ''The Mirror'' and ''Graphic Showbiz''. ''Graphic Sports'', the most read sports news in Ghana, is also a product of the company. The company also publishes the ''Junior Graphic'', aimed at a younger audience, the ''Graphic Business'', a business and financial paper, the ''Graphic Advertiser'', a free ads paper, and the ''Nsɛmpa'', a regional weekly for the Ashanti Region. Ghana's other state-owned paper is the ''Ghanaian Times''. ==See also== * Media of Ghana * List of newspapers in Ghana 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daily Graphic (Ghana)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
